Buying Advice JD 3038e vs Mahindra 3016 almost same price

[Great Grego]

Update: I have decided to go with the Mahindra 3616 HST with FEL I got it for 19,800 tractor and loader only. My decision was made by PTO horsepower, I felt I needed more than 21 PTO hp I now have 29. I am going to sign this week and will take delivery sometime next week. Thank you to everyone who posted their opinion and advice. This forum is a great resource for purchasing and also will be a great resource while owning a tractor also. I am so **** excited to get my tractor!! Merry Christmas

Wow, lots of new machine's being bought this month.

You'll be happy. Mitsubishi builds great tractors. Even though my 2615 has less HP, I would not trade it for a John deere 3038e.

Great choice, the Mahindra 3616 is a very capiable machine, much more than JD3038. That price sounds very good too.

Congratulations.

I took delivery of my new 3616.. BUT we had an ice storm here in North Texas that left every thing completely saturated. Now we have rain. I did rut up my back pasture just to burn some diesel and drive between events. As soon as the sun shines and we have solid ground I will take some pictures and post them. Until then my new slightly muddy tractor waits for me in the barn
